Looking Back at 50 Years

In honor of our 50th Anniversary, we want to remember what makes Spaulding unique: Spaulding’s commitment to those children that were often left uncared for – including children with disabilities.

 

In 1978 Spaulding hired experts in the field of developmental disabilities and concentrated on adoption for this population. Spaulding then worked with the State Department of Mental Health to implement permanency planning for children with developmental disabilities found abandoned in that system.
